The Age of AI Responsibility: Towards Human-Centric and Ethical Swarm Intelligence
Article Information
Abstract
Swarm and evolutionary computation topics has demonstrated remarkable effectiveness in solving complex optimization problems across various scientific and engineering fields. However, as these methods are increasingly used in high-risk applications such as healthcare, finance, and autonomous systems, there is a growing need to address their ethical, interpretability, and social implications. This editorial outlines key guidelines for creating bio-inspired computing systems that are responsible and transparent, highlighting the fundamental role of ethics and explainability in shaping the future of evolutionary and swarm learning.
